"Black boy joy doesn’t need a soundtrack or a headline. You just know it when you see it."
⁣
On a hot Detroit afternoon, a group of boys from the Coleman A. Young Rec Center stepped into Comerica Park — some for the first time ever. Led by longtime mentor Martain Thompkins, this wasn’t just a game. It was history. Joy. Belonging.⁣
⁣
They laughed, shouted for foul balls, broke down plays like pros, and carved out their place in a legacy that’s bigger than baseball.⁣
⁣
No fanfare. Just a summer day they’ll never forget — and a city that felt like it belonged to them.⁣

In Michigan, 18% of all community college students have completed some college but are still enrolled well beyond the expected time to a degree. Despite their substantial progress, about 36% of all “long-term persisting” students do not complete any degrees within nine years of entering college. Researchers from the WSU College of Education and the University of Michigan’s Education Policy Initiative are teaming up to identify ways to support these long-term persisting students and help them graduate.

Michigan State Rep. Joe Tate has suspended his U.S. Senate campaign for Michigan’s open seat, saying he’s shifting how he serves after a three-month run.

In a crowded Democratic field led by U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, Sen. Mallory McMorrow and Abdul El-Sayed—who posted multi-million dollar quarters—Tate reported roughly $193,000 in the latest filing and could not match fundraising momentum.

The former Michigan House Speaker highlighted legislative wins including gun safety measures, expansion of Elliott-Larsen civil rights protections, repeal of the state’s abortion ban and pension-tax relief as central to his record.
